Yes, I became a god just by exercising.

Chapter 132 A Variety of Harvests, A Frenzied Hunt!

Inside the off-white tree hole, the bee egg, now the size of a soybean, floated up.

It floated into the air and floated right up to Xiafa.

Xia Fa clearly remembered that when the bee eggs sprinkled the honey with magical effects to help him, the giant deer was only eaten by about half of it.

In other words, in the short few minutes that I was meditating again to check my newly acquired Silver Throne Secret Contract ability, it almost finished eating the rest of the giant deer!
This abnormal eating speed made Xia Fa a little worried, but through spiritual intuition, he could sense that there was nothing wrong with it.

suddenly--

With a muffled thud, it sounded like a rubber ball hitting the ground.

The size of the bee egg... had actually increased by a whole circle!

It actually grew from the size of a soybean to the size of an apple!
To be honest, this can no longer be considered an "egg"; it's more like a "chicken," and it's even much larger than a regular chicken or duck egg.

However, it still looks like a translucent orange-yellow color, and even the egg membrane appears to be very elastic at first glance.

Through the egg membrane, Xiafa could vaguely see the orange-yellow fluid inside, as well as blurry black shadows within the fluid.

The black shadow resembled a wasp, but not entirely, because it had two antlers growing from its head and chains swirling around its body.

Xia Fa's curiosity was piqued. It seemed that his bee egg could absorb some of the characteristics of other supernatural creatures or strange beings.

A wasp with antlers on its head and chains binding its body... It sounds pretty cool, but also a bit strange.

"How are you feeling?" Xia Fa communicated with it through spiritual intuition.

Actually, by now it's grown to the size of an apple, and it's perfectly capable of trying to talk.

But Xiafa did not choose that option.

The main point is to cultivate the habit of communicating with bee eggs through spiritual intuition now, so that when they can join the battle in the future, we can communicate in this way during the battle.

In this way, the enemy will be completely unaware, and you might even be able to catch them off guard.

"Master, I, I feel great, it's just, I'm a little hungry."

The bee egg responded through spiritual intuition; although its speech was still somewhat hesitant, it was much more fluent.

Still hungry?

Xia Fa chuckled inwardly, and intuitively said:

"Then finish eating the rest, and I'll go get you a few more."

The bee egg trembled slightly, clearly appearing quite pleased.

"Really, Master, is it really okay? I... I've already eaten a lot..."

Xia Fa smiled and said:
"This was originally meant for you, so eat up and don't be shy."

"Okay, thank you, Master!"

The bee egg was overjoyed. It turned around, its apple-sized body about to charge once more at the skeleton of the giant deer.

But then, as if suddenly remembering something, it flew over and affectionately nuzzled Xiafa's cheek, its touch cool and refreshing, before rushing toward the giant deer skeleton.

Xia Fa smiled and shook his head, feeling quite moved.

Initially, when he unexpectedly captured the bee egg after his workout today, he only hoped that it would hatch into one of the Holy Poison Bees under the command of the Poison Patriarch Veronica.

According to the information he had previously consulted, the Holy Poison Bee flies extremely fast and can plant holy poison on enemies, and can even spread poisonous mist directly within a certain range.

These points alone make it an excellent battle pet.

But he didn't expect that the bee eggs, after being modified by his burning sensation and the strange electric current, seemed to... possess some strange new abilities?
For example, the honey that just now could soothe his soul and spirit, and calm the storm of knowledge in his mind.

As a result, Xia Fa inexplicably felt even more motivated to nurture his own bee egg!

Seeing that the bee egg had devoured the remaining skeleton of the giant deer in almost no time, even consuming the silver of destruction attached to it, it flew back to him once more.

"Master, I... I'm a little sleepy."

"Come here, get a good night's sleep."

Xia Fa chuckled and patted his shoulder. This time, as soon as the bee egg landed on his neck, it melted directly under his skin and then slid down to his left shoulder.

Even though the bee egg was already the size of an apple, his left shoulder didn't bulge, and he didn't feel the bee egg compressing his bones or muscles.

It was a very magical experience, as if the bee eggs were residing in the Astral Realm rather than the real world, except that they were still under the skin of his left shoulder.

Seeing that the bee egg had fallen into a deep sleep, Xiafa shielded it from all senses in order not to wake it.

Then, he stood up, pressed one palm against the inner wall of the tree hole, melted a large hole, and walked out.

The hunting grounds were shrouded in mist, surrounded by towering trees, but various shrubs and vines grew densely.

Xia Fa understood that this was how the Mist God Hunting Grounds were; the deeper one went from the exit, the stranger the terrain and landforms became.

However, he didn't dwell on it. Now that he had the Exploding Silver Nugget, although he still couldn't defeat a demigod, whether it was a human or a supernatural being of demigod rank, at least he had a way to save his life.

The premise is that the demigod-level supernatural beings he encountered could not freely enter the Protoss Realm.

That's right, this is the life-saving method that Xia Fa came up with: directly using the Exploding Silver Block to blast a gap in the real world, and then using the gap to enter the Protoss Realm to hide.

As for how to return to the real world, it should be enough to blast another opening with the exploding silver block.

If things really don't work out... well, we'll be running for our lives anyway, so being trapped in the Protoss Realm is much better than being killed by a demigod-level supernatural being.

"Speaking of which, if the physical body directly enters the Protoss Realm..."

Xia Fa had seen related research in "The Mystic Exploration Record of the Fog People", but it was rather superficial and not in-depth.

Under normal circumstances, neither humans, demi-humans, nor even humanoid supernatural beings can enter the Celestial Spirit Realm physically; they can only enter through a luminous sphere formed by their mind and spirit.

Just like his previous divinations and when he used the Astral Compass.

However, there is no doubt that as long as one's rank is high enough, one can physically enter the Protoss Realm; at least Dick Tudor did just that.

But just how high does one's rank need to be to enter the Celestial Spirit Realm in their physical body without any major problems?

The book "The Mystical Exploration Record of the Fog People" mentions that one must be at least a demigod, and preferably a demigod who has signed a secret contract with a spirit-controlling entity.

Because those extraordinary individuals who have signed a secret contract with a spirit can briefly enter the Celestial Spirit Realm on the night of a full moon or when the power of the midday sun is at its peak, in order to find a spirit to form a contract with.

Once you become a demigod, you will naturally be able to enter the Protoss Realm for an extended period.

It is said that the Protoss Realm has all sorts of strange scenery, and in addition to the spirits, there are many strange creatures that live only in the Protoss Realm.

Human and demi-human scholars' initial understanding of the Protoss Realm is that it contains a collection of information and knowledge from the real world, without distinction between past, future, and present.

Therefore, divination and espionage are the means to obtain the desired information through the Celestial Spirit Realm.

But without a doubt, the secrets of the Protoss Realm go far beyond this.

Otherwise, how do you explain so many spirits and all sorts of strange creatures, and even wandering gods and other gods who cannot approach the real world?
While pondering the feasibility of escaping into the Protoss Realm using the Exploding Silver Block, Xia Fa continued his journey southwest.

Although he already had a fortune of 330,000 pounds, he still wanted to try his luck and see if he could encounter a Mistscaled Dragon cub.

After all, who would complain about having too much money?

As they walked, the originally open and spacious hunting ground gradually became covered with more and more vines and various branches and leaves, some of which even intertwined to form an aerial platform, making it seem as if the Mist God Hunting Ground was divided into two worlds, an upper and a lower one.

The fog was no longer an obstacle to visibility; various shrubs and even other tall trees grew among those towering giants.
The feeling I got from Xiafa was like going deep into a tropical rainforest, or entering a mysterious world made of plants, or exploring a plant maze.

He even spotted many wild animals—normal wild animals, not supernatural creatures—hiding in the holes and crevices formed by the bushes and vines.

The Mist God Hunting Grounds are teeming with wild animals, but they are also quite wary. Long before the extraordinary individuals entered the Mist God Hunting Grounds and began hunting supernatural creatures, they had already hidden themselves deep within the Mist God Hunting Grounds.

Fortunately, the Mist God Hunting Grounds are large enough, equivalent to the size of a modern metropolis. In addition, the depths of the Mist God Hunting Grounds, which are like a plant maze, could probably hide even twice as many wild animals.

Xiafa stepped onto a network of brown tree trunks that stretched into the air, where a platform made of giant leaves rose up.

It has to be said that this scenery is truly magical, something he could never have seen before. He walked onto the platform, stepped on the heart-shaped leaves, each several meters in diameter, and gazed into the distance.

This is the highest point in the vicinity, and he hopes to see if he can discover any other supernatural creatures from here.

As Xia Fa's gaze searched through the maze-like jungle, he suddenly raised an eyebrow.

He saw several pink lantern flowers floating up and down in the air not far to his left.

At the exit of the lantern flower, there were crystal-clear tree frogs, lying quietly.

"This is……!"

In that instant, Xia Fa's breathing became shallow, and he dared not make any extra movements, for fear of disturbing these jewel-carved tree frogs. These were spirit-eating tree frogs, supernatural creatures with a rank of only fungus.

However, the price of just one can reach five thousand gold pounds!

This is clearly priced and recorded in the Fog Man's occult book; moreover, it is often priceless and unavailable!

The reason is quite simple: the Spirit-Eating Tree Frog can be used to make "Out of Control Suppression Potion," which is a more advanced and extraordinary potion than "Rationality Stabilization Potion."

The out-of-control suppressant has two major uses. First, it can suppress out-of-control signs in superhumans below the Eagle level, provided that the superhuman's body does not show obvious signs of out-of-control.

Because if the body undergoes abnormal changes, such as growing tentacles, oozing mucus, or sprouting mouths where they shouldn't... then it's basically irreversible. Even the ruler can't help it; you'd probably have to pray to the nine great gods.

However, if it's just a mental breakdown and the body hasn't lost control yet, taking a depressant can barely bring it back to normal!

Although it only works on superhumans below the Eagle level, it is still quite incredible.

As for the second use of the runaway suppressant, it is naturally for beings of demigod rank or above to take when venturing into the realms of demigods or higher.

In this situation, the effect of the out-of-control suppression agent is similar to that of the sanity stabilizing potion, but the sanity stabilizing potion is useless for demigods; they can only use the out-of-control suppression agent.

"One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine... six!"

Xia Fa counted them in his mind, becoming happier and happier with each count.

There are six spirit-eating tree frogs in total. If we catch them all, that's 30,000 gold pounds!
Make a small fortune!

Fortunately, the Spirit-Eating Tree Frog doesn't necessarily have to be alive, so Xia Fa slowly stretched out his hands and aimed at the few pink pitcher plants floating up and down in the air.

He slowly clenched his fists.

Snap! Snap! Snap!

Six ice balls instantly froze the six spirit-eating tree frogs, which then rolled directly into the pink pitcher plant floating in the air.

With a flick of his sleeve, Xia Fa sent out several extremely thin wires that quickly wrapped around the pink pitcher plants and pulled them away.

These pink pitcher plants are clearly some kind of extraordinary plant, but they don't seem to be very valuable, so much so that they aren't recorded in the Fogman's book of mysticism, or perhaps he just hasn't found them yet.

Xia Fa exerted force, preparing to pull the pitcher plants back.

But when he pulled, it actually...didn't budge.

He pulled harder, but still couldn't budge it; the wire almost snapped.

"I refuse to believe it..."

Xia Fa switched to using both hands, his arm muscles bulging, and pulled hard again.

Snapped!
A crisp sound rang out; it was the sound of the wire snapping completely.

This is the most ordinary iron wire that Xiafa created using the power of the gold element in the Etheric Source Secret Contract. Although it is not an alchemical metal, it is tough enough.

Unexpectedly, it broke and I couldn't pull it at all.

Considering that the bottom of the pitcher plant might contain corrosive sap, which could corrode the spirit-eating tree frog along with the ice block encasing it, Xia Fa immediately used the Wind Element to wrap himself around it.

He lifted off the ground and flew up unsteadily, looking quite clumsy.

Seeing this, Xia Fa did not hesitate and directly activated the burning sensation in all the cells of his body, which was as thick as a chopstick.

Wow——!
Suddenly, a strong wind arose, enveloping him in a dense azure breeze, and he flew steadily toward the pink pitcher plants floating up and down in the air.

Unfortunately, he doesn't have the ability to fly right now. To gain that ability, he either needs to become a demigod or sign a secret pact like "Aviator" or "Floater".

However, Xia Fa speculated that the Gate of Stars, a supreme-level secret contract, should also grant him the ability to fly. After all, it has "stars" in its name, so it would be unreasonable if he couldn't fly.

Just as Xia Fa flew to one of the pink pitcher plants, she was about to reach out her hand.

From the bushes obscured by branches ahead, a pair of enormous golden pupils, as large as streetlights, opened.

Almost in the blink of an eye, the owner of the golden pupils suddenly opened his mouth, and his pink, bumpy tongue shot out like lightning, instantly wrapping around Xia Fa's body.

Xia Fa manipulated the blue wind and suddenly pulled his body backward with that tongue!
The owner of the golden eyes was pulled out of the bushes, staggering and nearly falling.

It was a lizard, a lizard the size of a small truck!

Several nearly transparent thin tubes extended from its head, with the ends of the tubes connected to the pink pitcher plants!
Xia Fa was speechless. After all that, it turned out that the pink pitcher plant... was actually the lizard's bait!
However, because of this, he felt a little relieved. Since the pitcher plant wasn't real, there probably wasn't any corrosive sap at the bottom, so his six spirit-eating tree frogs should be safe and sound, even though they had all frozen to death.

Without hesitation, Xia Fa reached out and pressed down on the truck-sized lizard with one hand.

Three metallic cones, each over ten meters long, suddenly appeared in the air and pierced through the ground.

The lizard had no chance to defend itself; one of the metal spikes pierced its head, and another metal spike pierced its heart and tailbone.

It struggled for a moment, then collapsed to the ground, its eyes rolled back, and it died.

Xia Fa didn't rush to make a move. Instead, he flipped his palm and took out the book "The Mystic Exploration Record of the Fog People" and started reading it on the spot.

He quickly found the relevant information.

"An elephant-sized supernatural creature... a disguised giant lizard?"

The camouflage lizard is a supernatural creature mutated from a chameleon, ranging in size from fungus to demigod, depending on its age and size.

This one is only a dozen meters long, so it can only be an elephant-level creature. Whale-level creatures start at thirty meters, and demigods reach an astonishing hundred meters.

The azure aura around Xia Fa dissipated, and he landed steadily. With a flick of his sleeve, the tiger-tooth folding knife appeared in his hand.

He grabbed the transparent tube at the back of the pitcher plant and cleanly cut it off at the joint, severing all three pitcher plants.

Then, he walked up to the enormous head of the disguised monitor lizard, and cut off the three almost transparent thin tubes close to its scalp.

This is its most valuable and extraordinary material. Xia Fa glanced at it; the tree frog inside the ice ball was embedded in the pitcher plant's flesh, so there was no need to remove it.

Immediately, Xia Fa put the pitcher plant, the transparent tube, and the spirit-eating tree frog inside the pitcher plant into the Blackbird Bag.

As for the carcass of that disguised monitor lizard, which was over ten meters long...

After waiting for a while, Xiafa indeed produced a piece of extraordinary essence from the wound on its head. The extraordinary essence looked like a stone, but when it was held in the hand and rotated, it would become completely invisible at a certain angle.

Xia Fa was quite satisfied and put it into his black bag as well. Then, he flew to the branch of a towering tree not far away and hid behind the tree.

This time, since the disguised monitor lizard was only at the elephant level, he didn't plan to feed it to the bee eggs.

It wasn't entirely because they disliked the low rank of the disguised monitor lizard; the more crucial reason was...

According to the book, disguising the corpse of a monitor lizard could attract its favorite predator, the venomous tree centipede!
The Venomous Tree Centipede is a whale-level supernatural creature with a pure black shell and a size comparable to a giant python. It loves to eat supernatural creatures such as the Disguised Giant Lizard, the Ghost Back Spider, and the Shadow Mantis.

Humans and demi-humans are not on the Venomous Tree Centipede's diet. However, it is specifically mentioned in "The Mystic Exploration Record of the Fog People" that you should never enter the Venomous Tree Centipede's territory, otherwise you will be attacked indiscriminately.

On the other hand, the venom of the Venomous Tree Centipede is an exceptional material, especially prized by craftsmen specializing in rare artifacts.

Using the venom of the Venomous Tree Centipede to temper weapon-type treasures will increase the success rate of crafting by 20%!

Treasure craftsmen are generally very wealthy, so the price of the Venomous Tree Centipede Venom is self-evident.

Xia Fa immediately waited patiently. Before long, a rabbit with two fangs hopped over to the corpse of the disguised monitor lizard and began to eat it gleefully.

Xia Fa ignored it; the rustling of the gnawing and the resulting bloody smell only attracted the venomous tree centipede.

After a while, several more sparrow-like supernatural creatures fluttered their wings and landed on the disguised monitor lizard's corpse, also starting to peck at its flesh bit by bit.

Xia Fa remained unmoved and waited patiently.

As the smell of blood grew stronger, a pungent odor, unique to the blood of the camouflage monitor lizard, was introduced, intended to warn other camouflage monitor lizards and even chameleons to leave the area.

Suddenly, a rustling sound came from the ground beneath the fallen leaves.

The ground suddenly bulged up, and then a giant, python-like centipede poked its head out of the soil.

At that moment, Xia Fa's heart skipped a beat, and he gripped the tree branch beside him tightly.

The centipede wasn't pure black as described in the book; instead, it was... a rainbow of colors!

In such a dangerous forest, its color suggests that it no longer needs to disguise itself or hide.

It has become the top predator.

The next moment, the aura of a demigod emanated from it, and the rabbit and the sparrows instantly froze and fell to the ground.

This demigod-level, venomous tree centipede rose from the ground, kicking up countless clods of dirt.
It was two stories tall and was about to feast on the disguised monitor lizard.

Suddenly, as if sensing something, its enormous head abruptly turned, its scarlet eyes fixed on Xia Fa high above.

It has discovered where Xiafa is!
